Rockwall Police Department

***We want to take the time to acknowledge hard things: hard calls, hard days, hard lives. Our department recently responded to a tragic drowning of a 2 year old child. This call, like most kid cases, resonated with each and every person who worked that day. In addition, detectives also responded to an infant dead in a vehicle. It is incidents like these which can be the final straw to make someone break. No one should ever have to see a dead child, yet we do it day after day. Because if not us, then who?

Please check on each other or let someone on the Checkpoint Team know if you notice someone who is struggling. You can remain anonymous and all checkpoints are confidential. We are family and need to be there for one another.

Thank you to Women in Need for recognizing Domestic Violence Awareness Month and hosting their annual vigil and luncheon at the county courthouse. WIN is truly a great partner within our community and can help all victims of domestic violence. https://www.wintexas.org/

Rockwall PD would like to introduce the Texas Blue Chip program. The program consists of a single poker chip that can be used to obtain counseling services. The back of the chip contains a QR code that will bring you to a list of counselors to pick from. Simply present the blue chip at the time of service then hold onto it for another session or give it to a friend in need. You will find chips around the station such as in locker rooms and break rooms. Services are anonymous and free of charge.

Update - AllOne Health has re-credentialed the majority of counselors with F1RST. To see a provider with F1RST, you must call AllOne Health and ask for a F1RST provider. They will give you a code which you can then use to contact and schedule services with F1RST. Through AllOne Health F1RST is an option for all employees.

Therapy Scheduling for F1RST: 469.352.7491 or at the link below.

This is progress!
